First Frost

We’ve had our fist few frosty mornings here in Steilacoom. I guess I can’t will winter away after all. Clear mornings are really beautiful for picture taking. Oh, but the wind!

November Leaves

Such beautiful leaves on the ground! The clouds parted briefly yesterday afternoon while I was walking my dog and this colorful patch was illuminated. I was happy to have this man wander into my photo…

I collected a few for a series of photo blocks. Here’s one I made this morning from a very fragile Alder leaf. This leaf was just a skeleton – I didn’t dare put it in my pocket with the others!

Familiar Places

I spent last week visiting home in Florida. I didn’t pick up my camera much, but did make some snapshots of some favorite familiar scenes that make me think of home. What a warm, sweet week.

Paraphrase @ Darkroom New Orleans

Paraphrase @ The Darkroom Gallery, New Orleans

Oct. 1 – Dec. 1, 2009

**********

I’m happy to have my photograph, The Thweet Family, included in an interesting show at New Orleans’ Darkroom Gallery called Paraphrase. All of the photographs in the show mimic or allude to famous photographs; Hugh Brown’s photograph (above), Child with Toy Chainsaw in Griffith Park, based on the Diane Arbus image is a great example. My photograph (below) paraphrases this wonderful 1953 photograph by Paul Strand called The Family. Listen to the juror’s statement here. Sure wish I were closer to New Orleans and could make it to the show!

The Thweet Family, Memphis, Tennessee
